Governance
Governance or complementary
governance, which consists in
practicing governance in
economic, social and
environmental levels, is
important for sustainable
development, since it consists
in implementation of policies
which bring benefits to citizens.
Good governance will bring
improvements into public
transportation, for instance,
promoting its use by population
and diminishing problems
around transport and polluting
gas emissions
Öberg et al. (2018), Koopmans
et al. (2018), de Aguiar and de
Souza Freire (2017), Delina and
Sovacool (2018)
Access to public goods
Considering how important
technology is for developing a
more sustainable future, as well
as the fact that large portions of
populations of women, children
and elders are excluded from
access to technology or even
basic subsistence resources as
basic sanitation or health care,
we can consider that a large
portion of society is still not
included in advances of
sustainable development
Fiorini and Hoekman (2018),
Chapman and Shigetomi
(2018), dos Santos and
Balestieri (2018), di Bella et al.
(2016)
Transport
There is growing interest in
studying which indicators
would be more likely to achieve
this feat, such as use of energy,
amount of CO 2 that each kind
of transport issues, emission of
toxic and harmful substances,
disturbance and fragmentation
of natural areas, possible
residues, noise pollution, safety
in traffic, contribution of
transport sector to economic
welfare and accessibility
